The original table set up.
Colleen R.

We decided to go to Wind on a whim one random Monday evening. We waited about 4 minutes to sit with no reservation. We were asked if we would be ordering all you can eat or a la carte. Be at it was our first time there, we were given a nice explanation. We opted for the all you can eat. I absolutely love how the plates are smaller so we could try more if the menu. We ate about 16 plates total between the two of us, which according to the server wasn't that much, so ear up! The ambiance was amazing as well. I would have liked to be a bit more dressed up. I had so much fun. The all you can eat is a great experience, a robot brought us some of our food items. It was super fun and I highly recommend.

My family enjoys dinning here for birthday celebrations, we usually come with about nine people and opt for the all you can eat. The children in my family range ages 4-7 years and they all absolutely love the sushi, edamame, octopus, squid, noodles and fried scallops. They're also always entertained by the robo cat that delivers the food. We've been to the Transit location several times and always have a good experience. We're seated quickly (we do make reservations, I highly recommend them), our waiter/waitress is always nice and accommodating (we do have someone in our party with allergies), the food comes relatively fast once we give everyone a chance to review the iPad to make their food selections. I love the calm, dimly lit ambiance, it's relaxing even though the place is always busy. The manager always makes it over to our table to chat. I always joke it's probably because they can't believe we ordered 15 pieces of octopus, but literally everyone enjoys it. I always enjoy my meal here, hope they stick around for a while and if you haven't been, check it out!

Came for all you can eat sushi and had a great experience. The menu was extensive, including several sushi, rolls, appetizers, entrees, and other items to try. Service was great too. As soon as we were seated, we were shown how to order from the tablet, and waiters came to check on us frequently and take our used plates. The robot server was super cute too. Lots of families were here when we came for lunch on Sunday, so it was loud. Food was great too. I'd definitely come back here again.

Came for lunch on a Sunday. It was busy but we were seated right away without a reservation. Did the all you can eat option. Ordering is via a tablet and was easy. Food comes out fairly quickly either by a person or a delivery robot. Staff came by frequently to take plates and make sure everything was going well. Rolls were multiple pieces, usually 8 or 6,the menu indicates, and other sushi was 1 piece but you can order multiple pieces at once. All the sushi was great and fresh. There are also some non sushi options. The pad Thai and beef with broccoli were both also good and were more than a few bites but smaller than a normal stand alone serving which is nice when you're having a taste of multiple things. Also had wonton soup, similarly it was smaller than a stand alone serving. It was very flavorful and had tiny mushrooms in the broth.

Shrimp Tempura and Soft Shell Crab Handroll.

Finally, we visited 'Wind Japanese & Thai'. My 'sushi buddy' and I came here mainly for sashimi and Japanese dishes. Our third person ordered more meat and vegetables. I was also checking the vibe and everything in between. Expectations were rather high. The three of us were looking forward to having some fun with the 'all you can eat' experience. It's a really nice restaurant, I agree. Unfortunately, our table (actually a comfortable booth) was at the front, near the entrance, opposite the bar, next to the cash register station even though I made a reservation. I just didn't have a chance to explore the interior too much. The place was packed and loud on a Tuesday evening. I should just start by saying that our sashimi wasn't the best or even that good. At first, we weren't sure why, but shortly we both realized and agreed that almost all the pieces tasted watery. Plus, some of the white tuna had unappetizing yellowish edges. Not a good sign, right? I regret we didn't address the issue right away. Lesson learned. In general, I wasn't too excited about the food. We tried lots from the menu. It's just my personal opinion, yours could be totally opposite. Please don't hesitate to visit Wind Japanese & Thai if you haven't done it yet. Have your own opinion, especially if you order different dishes then we did. Maybe we were unlucky with the orders. What did we enjoy the most? The Grilled Eggplant, Pumpkin Tempura (?!... I know!), Torched Salmon, Yellowtail & Tobiko Sushi, Black Dragon Roll, Grilled Beef & Chicken Satay, Edamame, Enoki Mushroom Beef & Grilled Beef Short Ribs weren't bad as well. The Thai Coconut Soup had a nice flavor with a comfortable spice level. Spicy Scallop Sushi & Soft Shell Crab Handroll were overpowered with mayo. The Shrimp Tempura had too much tempura. Salmon Rose Sushi was nothing that I remember, very little flavor. Shall I continue? A small piece of Grilled Chilean Seabass contained just skin, fin, bones, and fat. Even the wasabi didn't have much kick to it. The biggest disappointment was the Thai Spicy Basil Beef. It looked and tasted like a Chinese lunch special in soupy sweet brown sauce, and they gave us a full bowl of it. The crew working that evening was very attentive. Our empty plates were quickly cleared away, making our stay pleasant and tidy. Even a glass of water and an unfinished beer disappeared while one of our companions went to the restroom. We didn't even notice when it happened:). As I mentioned earlier, this place has an elegant atmosphere and is perfect for a get-together with friends or a date. I'll be back with my partner. He enjoyed the food, but he isn't as into sushi and raw fish as much as I am.

This is one of my favorite restaurants as a 'destination' location. It's typically an annual birthday dinner. The food is always so delicious. The food is always fantastic, anything I have tried. My kids (tween down to elementary school) always love coming here. Know that the place WILL BE busy during a weekend evening. The robots dropping food to the table is fun, and having the iPad to order things from is very nice. Sometimes the staff could benefit from seeming less annoyed that people are there... but it's a self-contained enough evening that it should not take away from the experience.

Maki Set B

We got take out for girl's night. I got the Maki Set B - 24 pieces of sushi, miso soup, and seaweed salad. Everything was good, but I feel like I have had better sushi in Buffalo. The takeout box was stunning. I would order again just for the experience! Wind has all you can eat sushi, so I would probably try eat here in person next time.

I discovered this place my sophomore year of college, which is also when I think they first opened up. The food here is so delicious. The place is nice and clean. The servers are very nice. Their sushi is so fresh like you can just tell from the very first bite which makes the $45 you pay for dinner very much worth it. Their menu is also so big like there is something for everybody to try.

Wind is a gorgeous restaurant with amazing atmosphere. Ordering was a little confusing since we thought that inputting the meal on the tablet provided was enough, but apparently you need flag down a waiter for them to fully submit the order. Something not explained and we waited 20-25 minutes for nothing. The food is a western flare on a Japanese menu. All of the flavors were very timid as a result, with not much standing out over the course of the meal. That said the menu is quite large, giving a lot of options to choose from. It would be a great place for someone looking for an introduction into sushi, sashimi, and related dishes. I won't be going back but I do encourage others to try it out for a new experience.

Wind Japanese and Thai has two options for dine in; all you can eat for a fixed price or a la carte which is basically whatever you want as priced on the menu. There is a caveat, everything you don't finish you will be charged for and drinks are not included. You must make a decision before getting seated. We went with the all you can eat as suggested by our server since it was our first time. The process was pretty simple, there is a tablet on each table where you add whatever you want to your cart (there were photos with each option too) and once you're ready to submit your order, you flag down a waiter/waitress and the order is sent to the kitchen, and so on and so forth as much as you want. The table we were seated at initially had the brightest light, it was not very comfortable but our waiter was able to switch our table to a dimmer table. Once we were seated, we ordered some drinks and some apps to start. The drinks were good but my strawberry was old (as attached in the photo), it was not fresh so i did not eat it and it ruins the presentation of the drink, especially since it's not included in the all you can eat. The torched beef roll was delicious, we got it multiple times and so was the crab hand roll. Most of the food lacked much flavor like the Tobiko sushi and the yellowtail sashimi. A lot of the rolls i liked included avocado but almost all came without avocado until i had to run it by our server. Some of the food was missing things and a lot of it was not fresh, but i guess that's what you get at an all you can eat. The service was great, however. Shad was absolutely wonderful and considering it was our first time in Buffalo, he also gave us some advice as to where to go. All in all, customer service was wonderful but the food was not. It was alright; at least for the all you can eat option. Maybe it was that night and maybe it was coincidental but that was my personal experience.

The crab pizza . 100% out of this world !
Sharlee R.

This place is amazing. It made me feel like I was apart of a Jetsons episode. The place is absolutely beautiful well decorated, the lighting is perfect not bright . Just perfect. We've been twice so far and it never disappoints. The offer an all you can eat menu . Which allows you to order in small portions. Giving you the opportunity to try so many delicious items. My favorite is the crab pizza!!! Definitely must try!! Even or 5 yr old loves the food . And the Robot of course. They Robot delivers your food ordered right to your table with you table number. The have thai and Japanese inspired dishes , also sushi bar and amazing drinks. It's a must try!! Date night, family night solo night it's good for it all . It's the most amazing thing ever!!!

Steven C.

Absolutely wonderful! If you enjoy Japanese and Thai cuisine, you need to check out this place. We opted for the unlimited menu and food kept coming brought by robots! I intend to bring the entire family next time. The ambience is elegant, the human and robotic staff are very accommodating, and the food is good. We made the mistake of ordering too much so I don't think I'll eat again for a week.

Melissa L.

Good food. Wide variety of options. Servers are always available and the atmosphere is spacious, yet intimate. Chris did a great job today & was very helpful!

If it's a month with an "R"!!

Hard working people working in this restaurant as we could see as we peaked in the kitchen on our way out the door. Small place with huge menu. Decisions, decisions on just what to order. Hubby chose the shrimp bento box. He enjoyed. I ended up with the Tom Kar soup and california rolls. I loved the soup. And it was the good kind of california rolls...not the fake crab stick...the salad style (see my pic). The decor is quirky and kind of a no frills type place. Nothing fancy or high end by any stretch. Quite a few tables occupied, and lots of takeout orders. Seems the word is out that they have delicious food. I do recommend if you want your sushi fix.

Well, of course my husband and I had to try it and what better place to get our food from than Teton. Because we needed a lot, and definitely had left overs, we went with the love boat for 2 all variety of fish for $69.00, as well as two tuna handrolls. I love their tuna handrolls. They are scrumptious. Teton is great for gluten free people and they modify to make sure everything is good to go. There was so much food. The sushi and the rolls were great and fresh. The ordering process online is extremely easy, even when you are ordering with a dietary restriction. If you want quality fish, go here. Taka, the owner, is great. Do something different, order some takeout and play homemade battleship with your spouse or a friend.
